We want to start our monitoring off the cluster on a local server. Is this practical and will it be feasible and reasonable to hook local Prometheus and Grafana installations into a Kubernetes cluster?

It's possible but after doing many replatforming projects for clients I can't say I would advise it. Have you seen kube-prometheus? It's a one-shot install that will get you 90% of where you need to be for your cluster.
The only way I can advise it would be if you're going to run 5 or more clusters and want central monitoring, but I'm a bigger fan of having a Grafana per cluster.
Edit: Getting started with kube-prometheus is a one command install. kubectl apply -f manifests/
